32012 Washington State Annual Collision Summary

INTRODUCTION

The Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 4652030 requires that a standard Police Traffic Collision Report (PTCR) be submitted when an injury or death occurs to any person, or there is damage to the property of any person to an apparent extent of seven hundred dollars or more RCW 4652060 further prescribes that this information be tabulated and reported an-nually The annual collision summary meets this requirement

The annual collision summary is a collaborative effort between several traffic safety agen-cies The Washington State Department of Transportations (WSDOT) Statewide Travel and Collision Data Office (STCDO), by contractual agreement with the Washington State Patrol (WSP), is responsible for collecting, processing, analyzing and disseminating collision data pertaining to all public roadways in Washington State Information on these collisions is stored in the Collision Location and Analysis System (CLAS). The Washington Traffic Safety Commission (WTSC) is responsible for coding and analyzing all traffic fatalities that occur in Washington State as part of the federal Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS)

The source data used for collision information contained in this summary originates from collision reports submitted by law enforcement officers to WSP. WSP shares this information with WSDOT and WTSC for the CLAS and FARS databases This report covers police of-ficer reported collisions on all public roadways in Washington State for the year 2012. Other agencies contributing to this summary include WSP, the Department of Licensing (DOL), the Office of Financial Management (OFM), the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) and the Department of Health (DOH). This report reflects a snapshot of available 2012 data as of November 2013

WSDOT provides data in this report with the understanding that it will not be used, contrary to the restrictions in United States Code 23 Section 409, in discovery or as evidence at trial in any action for damages against WSDOT, the State of Washington, or any other jurisdiction involved in the locations mentioned in the data These entities expressly reserve the right, under Section 409, to object to the use of the data, including any opinions drawn from the data

Target Zero MEDIA SUMMARY

Washington States Strategic Highway Safety Plan, Target Zero, is a data-driven approach to prioritizing limited traffic safety resources. Target Zero is a high-level plan which:

Sets statewide priorities for all traffic safety partners over the next three to four years. Provides a resource for potential strategies to address each of the priority areas. Monitors outcomes at a statewide level for each of the priority areas.

Priority Level One includes factors associated with the largest number of fatalities and serious injuries in the State. Each of these factors was involved in at least 30% of traffic fatalities and serious injuries between 2009 and 2011. Traffic data systems was elevated to a priority one due to the need for improving the data we use to make resource decisions

Impaired Driver Involved Run-off-the-Road Collisions Speeding Involved Young Driver age 16-25 Involved Distracted Driver Involved Intersection Related Collisions Traffic Data Systems

Priority Level Two includes factors associated with 10-30% of fatal and serious injury collisions Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is included here due to the significant impact effective EMS response has on preserving life and minimizing injury

Unrestrained Vehicle Occupants Unlicensed Driver Involved Opposite-Direction (Head-on) Collisions Motorcyclists Pedestrians EMS and Trauma Care Systems

Priority Level Three includes factors associated with less than 10% of fatalities and serious inju-ries

Older Driver age 75+ Involved Heavy Truck Involved Drowsy Driver Involved Bicyclists Work Zones Wildlife School Bus Involved Vehicle-Train

EMS and Trauma SystemsCOLLISION FACTORS

Washingtons Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Trauma Care Systems contributed to a steady decrease in the number of motor vehicle related deaths in hospitals In 2002, there were 223 motor vehicle related deaths that occurred under EMS and trauma care In 2012, the number went down to 153 The death rate for these patients also went down from about 77% in 2002 to about 49% in 2012

Washingtons EMS and Trauma Care System is a coordinated system to assure appropriate and adequate care with the goal of reducing death and disability First, by providing critical care as soon as possible after an injury, EMS helps reduce deaths and serious injuries The minutes directly following a traumatic injury are often critical to saving lives or minimizing the long term effects of injury; timeliness and clinical expertise are critical factors in the success of post trauma care

In addition to the minutes immediately following an injury, a patients success is dependent on other important facets of trauma care, including prevention activities, hospital care, and reha-bilitation resources Each of these components work together to reduce death and disability of injured people throughout Washington

Appendix A: Data SourcesAPPENDICES

Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) The Information Services Division provides support to the courts through development, operation, and maintenance of the Judicial In-formation System (JIS). The AOC provided 2012 tabulated counts of case filings relating to driving under the influence, speeding, and cell phone/texting. Speeding and cell phone/texting counts include both original and amended charges

District and municipal courts which employ JIS are represented in the AOC Courts of Limited Jurisdiction statistical tables. For the DUI counts in this report, the Seattle Municipal Court is represented due to a special download from its local automated system. However, traffic viola-tions bureaus (established in accordance with RCW 330090) or the small number of courts which do not employ JIS are not included. Those violations bureaus and non-JIS courts pro-cess a combined total of about 5,000 cases per year, approximately one-fourth of one percent of the statewide limited jurisdiction caseload

Speeding and cell/texting information provided by AOC does not include traffic violation bu-reaus or courts which do not employ JIS. This includes Seattle Municipal Court. Therefore, the counts included in this report offer an under-represented estimate of statewide case filings. For more information about AOC data and information, please visit http://www.courts.wa.gov/ap-pellate_trial_courts/aocwho/?fa=atc_aocwho.display&fileID=isd

Collision Location Analysis System (CLAS) Managed by WSDOT, CLAS contains colli-sion data submitted by law enforcement officers for collisions occurring on Washingtons pub-lic roads. Officers can submit the collision report electronically or by mailing in a paper collision report WSDOT analysts review the reports and may request additional or clarifying informa-tion from the officer in the form of a Supplemental Collision Report. WSDOT analysts derive additional engineering specific data based on the data submitted by the officer. The data (with the exception of personal information) is then made available through the WSDOT Collision Data Mart for use by regions and divisions within WSDOT, the Federal Highway Administra-tion (FHWA), other Washington State and Local Agencies, and other public and private organi-zations For more information about CLAS data, please visit http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/mapsdata/collision/collisiondatarequest.htm

Department of Health Office of Community Health Systems (DOH) The Research, Analysis, and Data Section of the Office of Community Health Systems manages the States Trauma Registry Hospitals with designated trauma services are required to submit data to DOH quarterly for use in injury surveillance research and programs, monitoring patient care and outcomes, ensuring compliance with state standards for trauma care, and resource plan-ning. The traffic safety community in Washington State utilizes trauma information for monitor-ing trauma systems as prioritized in Target Zero For more information about Washingtons Trauma Registry, please visit http://www.doh.wa.gov/ForPublicHealthandHealthcareProviders/EmergencyMedicalServicesEMSSystems/TraumaSystem/TraumaRegistry.aspx



Department of Licensing (DOL) In addition to many other functions, the DOL provides in-formation on licensed drivers and registered vehicles in Washington State The DOL provided total counts of licensed drivers and registered vehicles for calculating collision and injury rates for this summary For more information about DOL data and information, please visit http://www.dol.wa.gov/about/data.html

Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) Managed by WTSC, FARS is a complete census of all traffic fatalities occurring on Washington Roadways, public or private (when the private road is openly accessible to the public). Traffic fatalities are those that involve a motor vehicle in transport, are not due to a cataclysmic event (such as a rock slide), and death oc-curring within 30 days of the collision These data are submitted to the National Highway Traf-fic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for the national FARS database. For more information about Washington FARS, please visit http://www.wtsc.wa.gov/statistics-reports/about-our-data/

Office of Financial Management Forecasting Division (OFM) The population unit of the Forecasting Division develops official state and local population estimates and projections for use in the allocation of certain state revenues, growth management, and other planning func-tions. As the official partner of the U. S. Census Bureau for Washington state, the Population unit helps disseminate information about the characteristics of Washingtons population, hous-ing, and economy and provide guidance to a variety of stakeholders in accessing and using demographic information For more information about OFM population estimates, please visit http://www.ofm.wa.gov/pop/

Appendix B: Data DefinitionsAPPENDICES

Traffic CollisionsTraffic Related Collisions exclude collisions that resulted from a traffic-unrelated medical event (such as a heart attack while driving), collisions resulting from police pursuits (legal interventions), intentional acts (suicide or homicide), or collisions that do not meet state reportable requirements (such as damage thresholds). In all collisions except fatals (see definition below), the collision must also occur on a state or local public roadway (excludes private drives, parking lots, etc) In-jury severity for each person involved in a collision is determined by the investigating officer based on the latest information available at the time the report is completed

Non-Traffic Fatal Collisions are collisions involving a fatal injury that do not meet the definition of traffic as described above and as also described in the fatal injury definition below.

Collision Injury Severity Fatal Injury A collision, as described above, that results in a fatality. Specific to the FARS da-tabase, if a collision occurs on a private road accessible to the public, or the un-stabilized event that led to the collision begins on a public road, those are counted as traffic fatalities. Exclusions include death after 30 days (even if the death was a result of the collision) or the loss of an unborn fetus as a result of the collision. Traffic fatalities are confirmed by death certificates (died as a re-sult of injuries sustained in the collision)

Non-Traffic Fatality A fatality that occurs on a public or private roadway that does not meet the criteria for a traffic fatality.

Serious Injury A collision resulting in an injury assessed by the investigating officer as any injury which prevents the injured person from walking, driving, or continuing normal activities at the time of the collision Includes severe lacerations, broken or distorted limbs, skull or check injuries, ab-dominal injuries, etc Excludes momentary unconsciousness, etc

Minor Injury A category combining evident and possible injuries, see definitions below.

Evident (non-disabling) Injury A collision resulting in an injury assessed by the investigating of-ficer as any injury other than fatal or serious at the scene. Includes broken fingers or toes, abra-sions, etc Excludes limping, complaint of pain, nausea, momentary unconsciousness, etc

Possible Injury A collision resulting in an injury assessed by the investigating officer as any injury reported to the officer or claimed by the individual as momentary unconsciousness, claim of injuries not evident, limping, complaint of pain, nausea, hysteria, etc

No Injury/Property Damage Only Applies when the officer at the scene has no reason to believe that, at the time of the collision, the person received any bodily harm due to the collision

Persons Involved in CollisionsDrivers Operators of motor vehicles, excluding motorcyclists (see definition below), involved in traffic collisions.

Occupants Persons in or on motor vehicles, not operating the vehicle, excluding motorcyclists.


Appendix B: Data DefinitionsAPPENDICES

Motorcyclists Persons operating a motorcycle or a passenger on a motorcycle. Excludes scooter bikes, mopeds, and other motorized bikes

Pedestrians Persons on foot, roller skater/skateboarder, persons in wheelchairs, flaggers, road-way workers and emergency response personnel

Bicyclists Persons on bicycles, tricycles, or other pedal cycles.

Collision, Fatal and Injury Rates Rates A rate is the degree of which something occurs, measured per unit of something else. Rates answer the question How likely is this to happen? In this summary, the something occur-ring are collisions and injuries from collisions. There are many ways to calculate rates in traffic safety to get more accurate estimates (beyond just simple counts) of how frequently an event is occurring, based upon some other unit of measurement, or exposure Each of these different ex-posure methods are described below, including the limitations of each The different types of rates provided in this summary are just different ways of looking at the same event and are not neces-sarily meant to be compared The formula however is the same:

Rate= # Events (Exposure/ [per] Unit)

Rate per 100M Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) The VMT rate reflects the number of collisions, fa-talities, or serious injuries that occur per every 100 million miles traveled on Washington roadways For example, in Washington for every 100 million miles that are traveled by all road users, there are approximately 176 collisions, 4 serious injuries, and 1 fatality The limitation of this measure is the very high number of vehicle miles traveled; each year there are billions of miles traveled on Washington roadways so it is challenging to imagine personal risk in the context of traveling mil-lions of miles

Rate per 10,000 Licensed Drivers The Licensed Driver rate reflects the number of collisions, fatalities, or serious injuries that occur per every 10,000 drivers licensed in Washington State The limitation of this measure is that not all drivers are licensed and not all who are licensed drive Also, not all counties have 10,000 licensed drivers, so the rate may seem inflated. For example, Garfield County experienced 2 traffic fatalities and has 1,797 licensed drivers, so the resulting rate is 1113 per 10,000 licensed drivers, which is the same as 2 per 1,797 licensed drivers However, using per 10,000 allows for rate comparisons across counties

Rate per 10,000 Registered Vehicles The Registered Vehicle rate reflects the number of colli-sions, fatalities, or serious injuries that occur per every 10,000 vehicles registered in Washington State The limitations of this measure are the same as for licensed drivers; not all vehicles on the road are registered and not all registered vehicles are driven. Rates may also appear inflated.

Rate per 10,000 Population The Population rate reflects the number of collisions, fatalities, or serious injuries that occur per every 10,000 people living in Washington State Similar to the limi-tations of the above rate measures, these rates may appear inflated for counties with populations less than 10,000. The statewide traffic serious injury rate of 3.23 per 10,000 population is the same as saying, For every 10,000 persons living in Washington, three of them will be seriously injured in traffic collisions this year, which is also the same as a total of 2,200 seriously injured people.
